Phainon's Deterrence! Mu Ye's Hellish Training Plan!

Bai Yuan pushed open the door, and a burly figure was sitting imposingly on the edge of his bed.

He was holding a cup of hot tea that he had somehow gotten his hands on, as if he had been waiting for a while.

You're back?

Mu Ye glanced at him, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"Oh, are you going to the girl's room?"

"A young man with great potential."

He put down his teacup and sat up straighter.

"However, as someone with experience, I have to give you a word of advice."

"A land of beauties, a land of heroes."

"At such a young age, don't become so infatuated with beauty that you can't extricate yourself."

Bai Yuan stood by the door, his expression turning into a helpless "I knew it" look.

He silently rolled his eyes in his mind, but remained outwardly expressionless.

"You think it's something to be proud of, spending all your time in your Mecha instead of training your real body?"

Mu Ye was taken aback by those words and opened his mouth.

I want to refute it, but I can't find the right words.

After all, the whole continent already knew about this!

He waved his hand:

"... You little rascal, your tongue's getting sharper and sharper."

Bai Yuan walked to the table, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Teacher Mu, it's so late, you didn't come to my room just to gossip, did you?"

"What's up?"

Mu Ye also dropped his joking expression and cleared his throat:

"Ahem, let's get down to business."

Do you have any cultivation plans for this voyage?

Bai Yuan's hand, holding the teacup, paused slightly before returning to normal.

"What, are you planning to personally instruct me, sir?"

Mu Ye did not deny it:

"If you have any ideas, I can give you some pointers."

"After all, there's not much else to do on this ship."

Mu Ye had already sat down at the table. He picked up his hot tea and took a sip.

"I've communicated with Heavenly Phoenix using soul guidance."

"During the exchange with the Star Luo Continent, I, the sect master, will protect and train you."

Looking at Bai Yuan's expression, Mu Ye couldn't help but feel delighted.

"After that kid went to Shrek, I haven't had a chance to contact him!"

"This time we can have a good talk with him and see if he's worth investing in and developing."

Bai Yuan looked at him without replying, but his gaze carried a "Are you serious?" implication.

Mu Ye had already laid out a complete plan in his mind.

He patted his broad chest, as if to confirm that the plan was complete enough:

I'll create a class schedule for you.

"In the morning, we study Mecha manufacturing and forge Battle Armor."

"This afternoon we will practice our Body Secret Technique, undergo combat training, and then engage in battle at sea."

When he talked about combat training, his tone noticeably rose several octaves.

"The number of Sea Soul Beast living in the deep sea is dozens of times greater than that of the Star Dou Forest at its peak."

"You'll have plenty of Soul Beast to use as your real combat opponents."

He paused for a moment after he finished speaking.

"Sunday is a day off. It's a good time to relax and have some rest. You're free to do whatever you want; I can't stop you."

His gaze lingered on Bai Yuan's face for a moment before he added another sentence.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention, every single Sea Soul Beast is a precious resource."

"We need to bring them back and cook them."

Trust my skills!

Bai Yuan looked at his serious expression and, unusually, didn't respond.

He silently weighed the weight of that plan in his mind, then glanced at him again:

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Teacher Mu."

Mu Ye didn't say anything more, stood up and walked towards the door:

See you on deck tomorrow morning.

He paused as he reached the door, then added:

"By the way, although the Body Sect doesn't rely on beautiful women for cultivation, having powerful techniques allows one to remain calm in the face of adversity, which is also a kind of realm."

Bai Yuan picked up his teacup and took a sip, but almost spat it out when he heard those words.

He put down his teacup and wiped his mouth.

"Ahem... Could you please not jump around like that, sir?"

Mu Ye's figure had already disappeared outside the door, leaving only a laughing voice echoing in the corridor.

"Hahaha, get some rest, we have training tomorrow."

He didn't rush to wash up. Instead, he walked to the table, sat down, and opened his palm, where Core Flame appeared.

Then he noticed that the light from the Core Flame was different from usual.

It wasn't brighter, but rather a thin mist covered the halo, giving it a texture he wasn't familiar with.

Bai Yuan's brow twitched slightly.

He closed his eyes, immersing his senses deep within the Core Flame.

The Core Flame's light was being rearranged in a way he had never seen before.

It's as if something inside it is being slowly activated.

Just as he was about to examine it closely, a phantom emerged from the light of the Core Flame.

Xiao Bai's figure appeared more solid than before.

The edges are no longer that almost disappearing translucent quality.

Bai Yuan looked at him, his tone carrying a hint of relief, as if they were reunited after a long separation:

"Xiao Bai, long time no see. What brings you out?"

Isn't this a sure thing?

With Xiao Bai around, what's there to be afraid of from anyone else!

It makes me more confident on my journey through the Star Luo Empire!

Xiao Bai stood by the window, bathed in moonlight.

"Something has changed within the Core Flame, so I came out to see you."

Bai Yuan nodded, as if he had already vaguely guessed the reason.

He spoke of recent discoveries, that emerging powers were giving the Core Flame a function it had never possessed before.

Xiao Bai nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Bai Yuan:

"Let me see how well you've mastered spatial attributes."

Without hesitation, Bai Yuan raised his hand and gently drew a line in front of him, and a Space Rift silently opened along the direction of his fingertips.

It then naturally converges just before reaching the edge of the wall, leaving a clean and crisp edge.

The whole process was as smooth as a straightened line, without any unnecessary oscillations or hesitant pauses.

Xiao Bai looked at him, her eyes filled with a kind of caution that Bai Yuan was very familiar with.

"Good."

He raised his hand and drew a similar arc in the air.

That crack was smoother than Bai Yuan's.

They formed and closed almost simultaneously, the movements were so fast they were impeccable.

Bai Yuan's gaze fell on the spot where the crack had healed.

There are more hidden details there than he can currently accomplish.

Seeing that he was digesting the information, Xiao Bai didn't rush to speak.

Bai Yuan had just recovered his attention from the lingering effects of the demonstration.

I hadn't even had time to fully process the new sensations brought about by that crack.

Xiao Bai's words brought me back to reality.

"Someone is watching us."

Xiao Bai's gaze remained fixed on the view outside the window.

Bai Yuan followed his gaze and looked out the window. The night outside was as dark as ink, and the sea shimmered with tiny lights under the moonlight.

He saw nothing and felt nothing.

But Xiao Bai never says anything without evidence.

Bai Yuan didn't rush to ask any more questions; he simply stood quietly in place.

"Were they people on the ship, or... something else?"

Xiao Bai withdrew her gaze:

"It's hard to say. But it shows no sign of moving closer, nor is it leaving."

"Like confirming something."

He paused,

"Or rather, it's confirming whether you're the person it's looking for."

Xiao Bai has already raised his hand.

Without any preparation, an invisible force surged from his palm.

Like an unfolded umbrella, it enveloped the entire giant ship.

The sea around the ship, the distant horizon, and even the deeper waters were all gently touched by that spiritual force.

Even the ripples on the water's surface became calmer at that moment.

"Found it!"
